management. Aligned in this mission, the CATA Member Benefits Committee continually researches and vets allied companies in an effort to provide worthwhile programs and cost efficiencies to CATA members and to the CATA itself. The CATA Employee Benefits Committee continually seeks out new ways to provide benefits to all CATA members at reasonable costs. To that end, the Committee is examining alternative roles that the CATA can play in providing the important member benefits. The CATA provides a list of current Approved Member Partners and Recommended Providers that can be found at www.CATA.info. The CATA Nominating Committee recently reached out to the entire dealer body, and will continue to do so, to seek out qualified hand raisers to serve on the CATA Board of Directors. The Committee is dedicated to choosing knowledgeable candidates of the highest integrity to serve on the CATA Board. My appreciation goes out to the 13 members of the CATA Board of Directors who served so diligently this past year; to the CATA staff, especially Jen Morand, who completed her first year as CATA Co-President; Dave Sloan, who will be serving his final year in 2023-2024 as CATA Co-President; and Chis Konecki, who serves as Executive Vice President and is so knowledgeable about the Chicago Auto Show. Also, I am grateful for the continued wise counsel provided by our longtime General Counsel, Dennis O’Keefe. I congratulate Kelly Webb Roberts on her election as CATA Chairwoman for 2023-2024. Kelly comes from a great automobile family, is extremely able and dedicated, and will provide strong leadership during the upcoming year. Sincerely, J.C. Phelan CATA Chairman 2022-2023 CATA UP TO SPEED 7
